temperance column I J Conducted by the McCook W C T U Fundamental Scientific Truths of the Temperance Reform Excerpts from an address before the National Inter Church Temperance Council by Mrs Ed Smith Davis Superintendent of Scientific Temper ance Instruction for the Worlds and National W C T U That total abstinence rests upon an absolutely scientific basis is a fact that needs to be emphasized in every possible way in the present day temperance agi tation Sir Victor Horsley not long ago publicly said From the scientific stand point total abstinence must be the course if we are to follow the plain teaching of truth and common sense Ourinternational Congress which was held last July in London is no longer denominated The International Con gress Against the Abuse of Alcohol but is now The International Congress Against the Use of Alcohol for as Dr Koppa so tersely said The abuse of alcohol commenses with its use What then are the scientific truths respecting alcohol which we deem fun damental in reaching the conclusion that we must have total abstinence First that alcohol is a narcotic drug and poisonous in its action Alcohol is usually classified by pharmacologists with such narcotics as chloroform and ether for it ha3 a two fold action 1 temporarily exhilarant 2 depressant But as the depressant action of alcohol is much longer continued than the ex hilarant it is rightly termed a narcotic In all its forms it acts as a depressant on normal activities That alcohol is a poison is not a new scientific discovery for as far back as the golden age of Greece we read in Xenophons Memorabilia Temper ance means first moderation in health ful indulgence and secondly absti nence from things dangerous as the use of intoxicating wines And even Homer wrote Inflaming winepernicious to mankind Unnerves the limbs and dulls the noble mind Dr David Starr Jordan of Leland Stanford Jr University says The basis of intemperance isthe effort to se cure through drugs the feeling of happi ness when happiness does not exist Men destroy their nervous system for the tingling pleasures they feel as its structures are torn apart The evil in drink is not primarily intoxication but nerve disturbance Without doubt the greatest peril of alcohol is to the nervous system Real Estate Filings The following real estate filings have been made in the county clerks office

Journal Uncle Sam does not go so strong for morals and principle as for revenue and does not as a rule prosecute for tho of fense of selling booze without a govern ment license Violations of the revenue law are crimes condoned by federal authorities frequently and usually Revenue is what is wanted and where a man is known to have sold liquor without the federal permit he usually settles the matter by paying the license fee and whatever costs have accrued in running him to earth and no prosecution is be gun Such is the case of J T Rein smith of McCook who compromised the cause against him by paying the fee and the costs something like 50 in all The alleged offeuse took place on June 12 Lincoln Journal Voted to Challenge McCook AtameetingoftheYCS I S of the Wray Colo high school last
